Charging the Battery

Charging the battery

Be sure to charge the battery before using it for the rst time or when it hasnot been used in the last 6 months.

Battery recharge time is approximately 2 - 1/2 hours, although this will vary depending on the remaining

charge when you begin to rec harge the battery. You can play games while the battery is c harging, but this will

increase the recharge time.

When fully charged, the battery will last from 9-14 hours on the lowest screen brightness setting,

depending on the type of game activity. See page 15 for information on adjusting the screen brightness. On the

brightest setting, the battery life is 3-4 hours. See the table below.

The battery can be recharged approximately 500 times, but performance may decrease after repeated

recharges, depending on usage c onditions such as temperature. Optimal charging temperature is between 41

and 95 Fahrenheit (5-35 Celsius). Battery life may also decrease over time. After 500 recharges, battery life

may be only 70% of the battery life when new.

WARNING Do not use the Nintendo DSi AC Adapter during a lightning storm. There maybe a risk of electric shock from lightning.

Using the wireless

communications or camera

features may reduce the batterytime to less than the gures

shown to the right.
